Ebay temptations
 

Every now and then I'm tempted to fire off emails to ebayers advertising their home-built custom trikes.

Usually the text would go as follows

"Hello, just a few questions about the trike you have on eBay. Why did you build such a snot-gobbling pile of crap out of some super-annuated slug of a bike that no-one ever liked, some badly welded angle-iron, a beer barrel and the back axle from a Plastic Pig? Seriously, it also looks like a blind monkey painted it in the rain, using a mouthful of Dulux paint and a straw.

That out of the way, what makes you think anyone will be even remotely interested in it at the ridiculous starting price you've set? Are you sure you haven't set the reserve in Japanese Yen, £300 seems awfully high for a 1/4 ton of scrap iron"

I'm always held back from sending the emails, not because I think I'm possibly being too harsh, but because judging by the standard of English used in the description, it's doubtful they'd be able to read what I've written without help from their parole officer.
